Las tintas ferrogálicas son soluciones acuosas formadas a partir de sales de hierro (Fe) y ácido gálico o tánico (que aportan taninos), formando un complejo orgánico metálico de color oscuro, aglutinado, por lo general, con alguna goma natural. Su utilización data al menos [del] siglo VII, y por tratarse de tintas permanentes y de fácil elaboración, sustituyeron rápidamente a las tintas de carbón y fueron las más utilizadas desde la Edad Media hasta avanzado el siglo XX. 1, record 1, Spanish, - tinta%20ferrog%C3%A1lica
